Good point on the bar. I don't think I am going to worry too much about classes as:
-I am terrible in a FWD.... seriously. Fooled around a little today and I couldn't get the car to do anything right. There is no way I would be competitive enough to worry about classes
-I can always take if off once I am used to the car (and showing promise for H stock)
-I have the feeling a civic SI hatch would walk all over a yaris in H-stock??
-The real autoX car is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH4HP5Oyp84


I test fit one of the 205/50r15 today. Good fit and lots of room. If monday is dry I might throw the set on and see how it feels. I'll take some pics as it looks pretty good. Then again, anything looks better with good rubber on it....

Cheers.
Cory
PS: I guess the 6.5" wide rims would kick me out of H-stock too
